"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the
animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel
nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest
lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)

CEO Asks Employees To Help Company ‘And Yourself’ By Donating $2,500 To Romney

To all ASG domestic employees,This coming Monday, Mitt Romney will be officially nominated as the Republican Presidential candidate. I
am encouraging everyone to go to the Romney for President web site and
contribute as much as you can to his campaign for President, up to the
maximum of $2500.00 per person. I am also encouraging you to contact all
of your friends and relatives and ask them to support Romney and to go
to the polls and vote on election day.ASG, like many companies, is still struggling, even after 4 years.
You probably heard that we tripped a bank leverage covenant on June
30th, and now must go through yet another round of unfavorable treatment
by our lenders. Many of our domestic employees are still on the 4 day
work week. Many of our customers are waiting until they see the results
of the election before beginning to invest again. We need to elect a
fiscally conservative President and Vice-President and stop this
ridiculous government spending. I believe that Romney and Ryan can put
us back on the path to sanity, but even then it is not going to be
painless for our country and ASG.Please help ASG and yourself by contributing to the Romney/Ryan campaign.Mr. Allen

Romney had called on employers to “make it very clear” how they feel about the candidates. During a call with the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) first discovered by In These Times, Romney told business owners to “pass… along to your employees” how their jobs might be affected by who wins in November.After heeding Romney’s advise Allen sent another email
asking employees to defer “some or all” of their salary “until
December, in order to help the company make a $15 million interest
payment.”
